Chapter 0

At the same time, Herber Star, the headquarters of the War Domain, the remote command room,

Chief of General Staff Jode and a group of deputies were nervously staring at the scene through remote video.

"It seems we have a chance to succeed this time." A deputy swallowed.

"Don't relax. Black Star has too many tricks. No one should lower their guard until he enters the star gate."

Jode's tone was grave.

This kidnapping operation was his idea. In the past three years, Black Star had fought against the frontline troops of the War Domain dozens or hundreds of times. He had thought of many ways, but all of them were resolved by Han Xiao. This strong enemy was both capable of fighting and difficult to kill, almost unsolvable at the Calamity Grade level, which gave him a headache. However, Jode was not discouraged. Instead, according to Overlord's intention, he regarded dealing with Black Star as his own test.

It just so happened that Black Star had been leading a team to remove the logistics transit stations in the desolate universe belt for the past six months. Jode had a flash of inspiration and decided to set up this trap and try to kidnap Black Star to the Solsen Star Cluster.

As long as it succeeded, even if he couldn't kill Black Star, he could control him. The Solsen Star Cluster was their base camp. Black Star had no helpers, was isolated and helpless, and had nowhere to escape.

Once Black Star fell into their hands, Klent would be happy to use various methods to control Black Star. The Purple Crystal would lose a super-A Grade seed with unlimited potential, and the potential stock they invested in would turn into Klent's people. The first to arrive was useless; green was the ultimate goal.

In this way, he could solve a rising star in the Shattered Star Ring without the help of His Excellency Overlord, and his sense of accomplishment would explode. His Excellency Overlord would definitely value him even more.

Of course, all of this was based on the premise that he could kidnap Black Star. Jode stared at Han Xiao in the screen, ready to issue instructions to the Calamity Grades present at any time.

In his eyes, Han Xiao was already like a Boss. His attitude at this time coincided with the players' attitude of forming a team to fight the Boss, ready to deal with Han Xiao's "next stage" state at any time.

…

The battlefield near the star gate, from the sudden attack of the thirty Calamity Grades to Han Xiao being carried by Hadaway towards the star gate, the whole process only took a few dozen seconds.

The attacks of Frosses and the other thirty Calamity Grades repeatedly struck Hadaway's back, giving him a driving force, and the speed continued to increase, getting closer and closer to the star gate.

Han Xiao exerted all his strength, and every cell in his body was like a fully operating reactor, spewing out surging and majestic strength, turning into cold void energy, quickly spreading throughout his limbs and bones. His body was like being immersed in ice water. Void energy surged and burned on the surface of his body, turning into a silvery-gray blazing flame.

In the mech helmet, the whites of Han Xiao's eyes were dyed into an obsidian-like color, and the pupils turned into rice-grain-sized spots of light. The whole person instantly entered the [Void Metamorphosis] state, his attributes increased by a large margin, and the [Void] characteristic of his strength was amplified.

Hadaway's hands suddenly embraced emptiness, and Han Xiao in his arms had disappeared without a trace.

"Everyone, perk up! Black Star may appear in a nearby location at any time. Secret術 法 mages who have mastered spatial magic, immediately sense the dimension and route he is in, and the moment he appears, imprison his actions!"

Jode immediately ordered loudly in the remote command channel, he had been prepared for a long time.

After more than three years of communication, both sides knew each other well. When setting up the plan, Jode had considered all kinds of methods of Black Star. Although he didn't know that Han Xiao's flash-like displacement ability was [Advanced Void Shuttle], but after seeing it a lot and asking various superhumans, he probably knew the principle and understood how to limit some of Han Xiao's skills.

Among the thirty Calamity Grades lying in ambush, Jode specially arranged several secret 術 法 grand mages who had studied spatial magic. These people had already prepared the magic model, and the magic props such as wands, orbs, and magic books in their hands bloomed with magical light, sensing the subtle fluctuations of Han Xiao crossing the void dimension and the real dimension in a matter of seconds.

The magic aura traced this energy fluctuation, and Han Xiao's traces of walking in the void dimension were immediately outlined in the minds of several secret 術 法 grand mages, like an eye-catching marker. Several people turned to an empty position at the same time, without hesitation, and all kinds of super-high-level spatial imprisonment spells prepared before the war were thrown towards the unmanned place, and various colors of magic light swayed and shot out.

In the next instant, Han Xiao's figure left the void dimension and appeared in this position, and various super-high-level spatial imprisonment spells immediately came head-on, almost without reaction time.

But Han Xiao didn't need to react either. Before using Advanced Void Shuttle, he knew that he would definitely be ambushed, this was not the first time.

As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. His reputation has soared, and every battle will allow various forces to understand his abilities.

At the moment of his appearance, Han Xiao said nothing, his hands became claws, as if treating space as a canvas, and he pulled it hard, without BB, it was directly a [Distortion of the Void].

The surrounding space showed visible twists and folds, like a funhouse mirror. The space-time coordinate coefficient of a small area around Han Xiao had a slight deviation of a dozen decimal places. Some of the long-range shooting spells followed the arc of the space folds and went far away, completely missing.

And some field-type spells, due to the change of the space-time coefficient, produced a chain reaction, and the spell structure broke down, and the spatial imprisonment field canceled itself out.

With one blow, he resolved the mages' ambush, and the crisis was immediately eliminated. Han Xiao directly attached machanical force to the mechanical legion through the [Void] attribute.

The mechanical legion was full of electric light, as if they had taken a mechanical blue pill, and became fierce again.

Two-thirds of the Calamity Grades had to give up the idea of containing Han Xiao and hurriedly evaded. Except for Hadaway, no one dared to be targeted by Han Xiao's current mechanical legion.

"Star Quake Fist!" Frosses was unwilling to give up. Before being entangled by the mechanical legion, his arm muscles suddenly swelled, and he blasted out a thick red three-dimensional wave, heading straight for Han Xiao.

"It's this trick again, don't you vanguard officers have other trump cards?"

Han Xiao curled his lips, dispelled the Distortion of the Void, and drew a circle with his hands in front of him. Mechanical parts followed the trajectory of the two palms and formed a mechanical ring-shaped device, facing the red beam of the Star Quake Fist head-on.

The mechanical ring device was hollow, and the Star Quake Fist should have easily passed through it. However, when it entered the hollow part of the ring device, the red beam seemed to have lost its impact force and was absorbed by the mechanical ring, turning into a red streamer and rotating at high speed along the inner circle of the ring, as if it could not break away from the strange force field of the mechanical ring.

This is a new device created by Han Xiao using the new cutting-edge knowledge of the control system [Advanced Space Application] - Curvature Force Field Tormentor!

The hollow part of the mechanical ring actually covers a special force field whose space curvature has been changed and is set as a closed loop. Most of the energy, as long as it is sucked in, will be trapped in this closed force field space.

In fact, the Star Quake Fist is still "advancing", but it has become a rotation along the distorted curvature, just like a small meteorite captured by the gravity of a planet, orbiting the planet. The speed (power) of this meteorite has failed to reach the boundary of breaking through gravity, just like failing to reach the concept of the n-th cosmic velocity.

On the other side, Hadaway also braked and rushed towards Han Xiao again, opening his hands as if to hug him.

Han Xiao felt a chill in his heart, used mechanical force to pull the Curvature Force Field Tormentor, aimed at Hadaway who was rushing over, and released the captured Star Quake Fist. The red beam of light was like a wild dragon breaking free, directly blasting Hadaway away.

Han Xiao turned his head and looked at several secret 術 法 grand mages. In his eyes, mages were more difficult to deal with than other big muscleheads. Seeing that these mages showed signs of casting spells again, Han Xiao said nothing, and ejected a compression ball, which unfolded into a rectangular mechanical device.

The appearance of this device is like a trapezoidal pyramid, as black as ink. From top to bottom, light spots light up in sequence, forming mysterious magic inscriptions.

嗡嗡嗡——

Clearly there was no sound in the vacuum of the universe, but the mages seemed to be in the sea, with roaring waves surging around them, making deafening sounds.

This is the vibration of magical energy!

In the perception of the mages, the surrounding magic energy became violent and difficult to control, and the magic power that they could use at will also appeared to be stagnant. The faces of the people changed.

"Humph, this thing is enough to make you法爷 (mage lords) drink a pot." Han Xiao grinned.

This mechanical device is called the Magic Tide Generator. It can interfere with the magic elements in a certain area and make them chaotic and violent. It is a mechanical equipment specially used to deal with mages.

According to terminology, mages within the scope of the Magic Tide will be attached with negative states of reduced casting speed and weakened spell power. Laki was also invited to add magic inscriptions on it, making the effect of this device far better than the original version.

Mechanical equipment has a wide range of applications. In the past three years, Han Xiao has used cutting-edge knowledge to combine with high-end and mid-level knowledge to create many powerful new equipment.

Now Han Xiao holds a large number of new machines as his trump cards, easily escaping the enemy's encirclement. On the contrary, Hadaway and others have fallen into a passive state.

Seeing Han Xiao out of control, Jode slammed the screen unwillingly, knowing that this operation was basically declared bankrupt. He took a deep breath and immediately changed his order.

"The operation has failed. Everyone, abandon the mission and evacuate through the star gate immediately!"

Hearing this, Frosses roared unwillingly.

Hadaway felt quite regretful in his heart, stopped immediately, and turned his head to rush towards the star gate - the one with the toughest head was him, and the one who ran the fastest was him.

Han Xiao had already distanced himself from Hadaway just now. He watched Hadaway disappear into the star gate without intending to stop him - with such a short distance, he couldn't kill him before Hadaway escaped, this guy was too damn tough.

Han Xiao was too lazy to waste his energy on Hadaway. His goal was the other thirty Calamity Grades.

He manipulated the mechanical legion to besiege them, looking at the thirty Calamity Grades who were trying to break through in the legion, Han Xiao narrowed his eyes.

"Since you're here, leave me a few souvenirs."

At this time, a portal opened next to Han Xiao, and Laki stepped out, observing the situation.

Compared with three years ago, Laki had not changed much. After all, decadent people look old, and they all look similar.

"Hey, you're here just in time, help me hold back this group of Calamity Grade combat power, leave as many as you can."

Han Xiao patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed to the thirty Calamity Grades who were trying to get rid of the mechanical legion and rush to the star gate not far away, the meaning was obvious.

Laki sighed, took out his staff, and floated towards the chaotic battlefield.

"Remember to collect my corpse."

…

The army was defeated like a mountain. With the retreat of the high-level combat power, the War Domain no longer sent reinforcements through the star gate, completely gave up resistance, and did not want the materials from the logistics transit station. The fleet covered the high-level combat power and evacuated through the star gate one after another, running away as many as they could.

Jode had been remotely commanding until the star gate was captured by Han Xiao's fleet. His tense body softened and he slumped into the chair, as if he had turned into a lifeless salted fish, and said weakly: "Count the losses, how many people didn't evacuate, how many high-level combat powers did we lose?"

"Report, report, 37% of the reinforcement fleet sent out this time did not have time to withdraw. Among the high-level combat powers sent out to support, Hadaway successfully evacuated, the eight vanguard officers successfully evacuated, and only seventeen of the remaining twenty-two A-Grade superhumans returned. Black Star left five of the high-level combat powers who went to support, and the two Calamity Grades who were originally guarding the logistics transit station also lost contact."

"That is to say, we lost seven high-level combat powers this time?!" Jode couldn't help but cover his face. Although the fallen A-Grade superhumans were basically new members who joined when Klent helped them incorporate the private forces of the entire star cluster, they were still high-level combat powers.

Losing seven high-level combat powers at once, Jode was very distressed. He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice. At least forty or fifty Calamity Grades had died in Black Star's hands before and after, which was simply a Calamity Grade harvester.

Just thinking about Black Star's record, Jode felt a chill in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that many large organizations had secretly allied with the War Domain in the past three years, bringing a lot of high-level combat power, he felt that the War Domain's troops would probably have to detour when they saw Black Star.

While Jode was doubting his life, the battle far away in the desolate universe belt had basically ended.

The enemies who did not have time to evacuate lost their retreat. Han Xiao ordered his fleet to pursue them. There was no suspense and easily annihilated the remnants of the War Domain. At the same time, the star gate was dismantled into parts, packaged and transported away, turning into spoils of war - a star cluster-level teleportation star gate could be sold for a lot of money, and it would be a good choice to take it back for research.

Laki's space-time secret 術 helped the mechanical legion to contain several A-Grade superhumans. In Han Xiao's eyes, Laki's fighting style made him feel particularly nostalgic. The style of painting was like a certain monkey named Sun. When Laki used "Za Warudo" to imprison the enemy, Han Xiao couldn't help but imagine a "Ding!" for him in his mind!

I have to say that Laki is still very powerful. Han Xiao is very satisfied with this vice-leader. Although the morale of the team led by Laki is basically constant at zero, there is a saying in military strategy that a sorrowful army is bound to win...

The Calamity Grade powerhouses who did not evacuate were trapped in a heavy siege. Resistance was futile, and they were all captured by Han Xiao, ready to be thrown into the happy cabin for juicing in the future.

The battle ended, the fleet cleaned up the battlefield, and searched for spoils of war. Han Xiao did not need to deal with these trivial tasks.

He recycled the mechanical legion, returned to the flagship's mechanical modification room, and let the automated mechanical arms repair the damage of each mechanical warrior. Then he took off the Mountain Ape mech for fine repair, as a leisure activity after the battle.

Di Di -

At this time, the communicator rang, Han Xiao took it out and connected it, and Leif's projection was displayed in front of him.

"Your adjutant has submitted the report. You guys did a very good job this time. It's another great victory worth celebrating." Leif had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.

Han Xiao glanced at it, then turned his head to repair the mech, and responded casually: "The War Domain ambushed me again. This time, in order to kidnap me, they mobilized a lot of experienced Calamity Grades stationed in Xifeng, Kaya, and Chaida. Now their strongholds should be relatively empty, you can take the opportunity to steal a wave."

"We will consider this suggestion as appropriate."

"Anything else? If not, I'll hang up, don't disturb me from repairing things." Han Xiao didn't turn his head.

After three years of communication, Leif had been moved by Han Xiao to the list of high-quality py, and the two were very familiar with each other. When communicating privately, the attitude was much more casual.

Moreover, Leif is no longer his superior. He became a long-term cooperative force of the Purple Crystal Civilization a year ago. Although he is still a member of the Zero Organ, he is actually an independent collaborator.

"Ahem, have you forgotten? This is the last logistics transit station. You have been fighting outside for half a year, and the mission has been completed. Come back, it just so happens that there are no other important tasks that require you to move out, and I am going to give you a long vacation." Leif said.

Han Xiao's movements stopped, and his eyes lit up.

For this mission, he led the fleet to fight in the desolate universe belt for more than half a year and had not returned to Colton. A lot of private affairs had accumulated, and now he finally ushered in a vacation and had time to deal with them.
